I;m new to the SYW and am wanting to paint figures for Leuthen. Should I use Prussian or Austrian figures or the Wurttemburgers? How about the grenadiers? Same for the SYW Bavarians? I'm planning to use Blue Moon or Old Glory figs.
Thanks in advance! |

Aspern, the Württemberg troops wore a Prussian style uniform, including a Prussian mitre for the grenadiers. The Bavarian grenadiers wore Austrian-style bearskins and their coats were of a similar cut to the Austrians'. As Pothos says, Kronoskaf can answer most of the questions you may have. |

I did these armies many years ago, before Kronoskaf, when the main sources available were the Pengel and Hurt booklets. Not very well laid out, but full of useful information, I believe it was here that I discovered that the Wurttemberg grenadiers wore white cloth covers over their mitre caps to distinguish them from the Prussian. |
